Angiography in the Study of Portal Hypertension

  • Chapter
Portal Hypertension

Abstract

Since percutaneous transhepatic catheterization of the portal vein and hepatic vein catheterization for the hemodynamic study have already been covered (Chapters 9 and 10), in this chapter we will focus on the role of various angiographic procedures in the investigation of portal hemodynamics and hepatic pathology. Some of the angiographic procedures may be combined with other imaging diagnosis such as CT and radionuclide scintigraphy to gain better understanding of the vascular anatomy and physiology. They will be discussed briefly.
